Power Outage

Well I’m due back in Montreal pretty soon, I will arrive on January 3rd late afternoon!
Last night (and this morning too while I was sleeping) we had a power outage in Blanc-Sablon! It was probably due to the freezing rain we’ve had. So for one hour last night I browsed the Internet on my laptop at candlelight (too bad my battery is so bad and only supplies me with one hour!).
It made me think of that “crise du verglas” (ice storm) [1]. That was back in 1998. But I didn’t go through that… I was still in my hometown… Hadn’t moved to Montreal yet! I remember watching it on the television. I liked the power outage last night because it was short. I don’t think I would enjoy days without electricity! Especially during Winter time!
